Georgia's Application: Proposed Initiatives and Use of Funds

Proposed Initiatives and Use of Funds

There are five transformative initiatives in the GREAT Health Program which will use RHT Program funding to support the health and wellbeing of rural Georgians. Aligned with the RHT Program strategic goals and the GREAT Health Program vision of transforming health to meet the needs of rural populations, in rural places, for rural progress, these initiatives are:

• Transforming for a Sustainable Health System in Rural Georgia

• Strengthening the Continuum of Care in Rural Georgia

• Connecting to Care to Improve Healthcare Access in Rural Georgia

• Growing a Highly Skilled Healthcare Workforce in Rural Georgia

• Leveraging Technology for Healthcare Innovations in Rural Georgia

To implement GREAT Health, the state will develop competitive, grant-based programs that correspond with the initiatives in order to ensure the funds flow fairly and transparently from the state into rural communities and organizations.
